A tinsel blue?
Lee G:
Ok, found the pics. I didn't crop them for fear of blow up, but hopefully you can still make out the rusty gold leakage around the feathers edges. Not saying this is what you have, but it looks somewhat similar.
greeneggsandham:
So a bird that leaks silver doesn't neccessarily show white? Just if the feathers glint that's leaking?
I've seen the rust or gold that you are talking about before, so I am familiar with that. I see it in your pictures too. I also see a glint in some of the feathers on his head. In fact, I've seen that glint often in pictures of blues that people post at times.
Well, I'm still stumped. Looked at my male blue cock and he has the same glint or shine on areas of his saddle and I've shown him on a few occasions. Won BV once and just won Champion AOSB at the county fair. I don't want to get rid of a very promising cockeral if this isn't leaking. I may just have to see what some think after viewing in person.
DeWayne Edgin:
Maybe someone used a black cock over Silver to increase size in Silvers and got one of the crosses mixed up and sold it you by accident. It might be a throw back to.
greeneggsandham:
No, hatched it here and hatched parents here. My cock's parentage goes back several years here. Female was from a black x splash.
I guess my question is not clear. Would silver leakage show up as white on a bird?
Jean:
yes
